A typical method for browsing results on mobile devices is an "infinite scroll", which loads results as users scroll through the list.
With InstantSearch, use the [`InfiniteHits` widget](/doc/api-reference/widgets/infinite-hits/android).

<Note>
  If there are no hits, you should [display a message to users and clear filters](/doc/guides/building-search-ui/going-further/conditional-display/android#handling-no-results) so they can start over.
</Note>

## Show more than 1,000 hits

To ensure excellent performance, the default limit for the number of hits you can retrieve for a query is
1,000.

<CodeGroup>
  ```cs C# theme={"system"}
  var response = await client.SetSettingsAsync(
    "INDEX_NAME",
    new IndexSettings { PaginationLimitedTo = 1000 }
  );
  ```

  ```dart Dart theme={"system"}
  final response = await client.setSettings(
    indexName: "INDEX_NAME",
    indexSettings: IndexSettings(
      paginationLimitedTo: 1000,
    ),
  );
  ```

  ```go Go theme={"system"}
  response, err := client.SetSettings(client.NewApiSetSettingsRequest(
    "INDEX_NAME",
    search.NewEmptyIndexSettings().SetPaginationLimitedTo(1000)))
  if err != nil {
    // handle the eventual error
    panic(err)
  }
  ```

  ```java Java theme={"system"}
  UpdatedAtResponse response = client.setSettings("INDEX_NAME", new IndexSettings().setPaginationLimitedTo(1000));
  ```

  ```js JavaScript theme={"system"}
  const response = await client.setSettings({
    indexName: 'theIndexName',
    indexSettings: { paginationLimitedTo: 1000 },
  });
  ```

  ```kotlin Kotlin theme={"system"}
  var response =
    client.setSettings(
      indexName = "INDEX_NAME",
      indexSettings = IndexSettings(paginationLimitedTo = 1000),
    )
  ```

  ```php PHP theme={"system"}
  $response = $client->setSettings(
      'INDEX_NAME',
      ['paginationLimitedTo' => 1000,
      ],
  );
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  response = client.set_settings(
      index_name="INDEX_NAME",
      index_settings={
          "paginationLimitedTo": 1000,
      },
  )
  ```

  ```ruby Ruby theme={"system"}
  response = client.set_settings("INDEX_NAME", Algolia::Search::IndexSettings.new(pagination_limited_to: 1000))
  ```

  ```scala Scala theme={"system"}
  val response = Await.result(
    client.setSettings(
      indexName = "INDEX_NAME",
      indexSettings = IndexSettings(
        paginationLimitedTo = Some(1000)
      )
    ),
    Duration(100, "sec")
  )
  ```

  ```swift Swift theme={"system"}
  let response = try await client.setSettings(
      indexName: "INDEX_NAME",
      indexSettings: IndexSettings(paginationLimitedTo: 1000)
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

If you need to show more than 1,000 hits, you can set a different limit using the [`paginationLimitedTo`](/doc/api-reference/api-parameters/paginationLimitedTo) parameter.
The higher you set this limit, the slower your search performance can become.
